The More the Merrier novel Chapter 540

Chapter 540 Mommy Has Never Forgotten About Us

Arissa stroked his head as she sat down. “He said that he has gone to see Mr. Bailey.”

Zachary nodded.

Oliver asked, “Mommy, what happened to you just now? Did you think of something sad?”

He noticed Arissa wiping the tears off her eyes.

Arissa cleared her throat awkwardly. “I was just touched by how delicious the food was!”

The six children were stumped.

Without explaining any further, Arissa quickly finished her food and went to Mary’s ward to accompany her.

Meanwhile, the children continued to finish their snacks in the break room.

Tim suddenly asked in a low voice, “Is Ms. York reacting that way because of me?”

She was also crying when she was asleep.

Gavin was stunned by how sensitive Tim was and quickly comforted him, “Don’t overthink it. It might well be because of something else.”

“That’s right. It might not necessarily be because of you,” Zachary reassured him too.

When the other three children saw Tim lowering his head, they, too, consoled him immediately.

“Tim, do you feel pressured? Didn’t Mommy say just now that it was because of the delicious food?”

“Don’t lie to me. Ms. York was crying in her sleep, for she feels that she has failed me,” Tim explained.

Gavin and the others were shocked.

“In fact, we largely spent the first few years of our lives in the hospital. It would either be her or one of us that needs to be warded. Due to how taxing it was for her to care for us, she didn’t manage to come back and find you so soon. Nevertheless, she had instructed Mr. Hinton to search for you in secret.

“She didn’t tell us that we still had two more brothers. Instead, she would always cry alone and shoulder the pain alone. Back then, we assumed that she was devastated over being dumped. It was only now that we realize it was because of both of you.”

When Gavin and Tim heard the story, both of them could feel their heartache.

It turns out that Mommy didn’t forget us at all. Also, she has really been through a lot.

Tim asked in concern, “In that case, are all of you feeling better already?”

“Mmm-hmm, all of us are fine. But due to Mommy suffering from the side effects of her sickness, she can’t get too emotional.”

Zachary let out a sigh. “This time, Mommy even fainted a couple of times from sad news. Tim, stop blaming yourself or Mommy, all right? It was a villain who separated us. Or else, Mommy wouldn’t be suffering from the side effects still.”

“I don’t blame her at all!” Danny murmured.

Zachary’s eyes lit up, while the rest of the children were delighted by what they heard.

“Really?”
